President Bola Tinubu has instructed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, to ensure all funds allocated to regional commissions are released promptly. This directive was given during the North Central Development Commission Summit, which focused on the region's economic infrastructure and social development plan for the next 20 years.
The regional commissions were created as part of the administration's Renewed Hope Agenda to boost development across the country. Tinubu emphasized that the commissions should not solely depend on government funding, instead, they should explore public-private partnerships, donor funding, and development financing for transformative projects.
He also warned the commissions against corruption, marginalization, politicization, and mismanagement of government resources, stating that such actions would not be tolerated.
